▎故事簡介 Synopsis
2003年，移民美國五年的莉莉（林嘉欣 飾）抱病帶著兩個女兒芳儀（方郁婷 飾）、芳安（林品彤 飾）從洛杉磯回到台灣，與聚少離多的丈夫宗輝（莊凱勛 飾）團聚。芳儀因中文障礙成績落後，被同學戲稱為「美國女孩」。一心渴望返美的芳儀與母親莉莉衝突不斷，導致家庭成員之間關係緊張，並隨著SARS疫情的爆發來到高峰。
Uprooted from Los Angeles after her mother is stricken with breast cancer, thirteen year old Fen struggles to adjust to life in Taipei. As Fen navigates her way through school and reconnects with her long-separated father, her turbulent bond with her mother worsens. Fen drifts further away from her mother through a series of rebellious acts before her younger sister is misdiagnosed with SARS, pushing Fen and her mother towards a heated, long-gestating confrontation.
